Beauty

I´m not a makeup junkie. Far from it. My everyday makeup consist of black eyeliner, blush, and lipbalm. When I have a meeting or an event I go crazy and apply foundation, black eyeliner (to do my perfect cat eye), blush, and fuchsia lips. That’s about it. Considering that I work in the beauty industry, it’s pretty sad. So one of my resolutions for 2013 is to be more creative with… Read more »

OK, I´ll try not to lose my shit. Getting your photographs published in ELLE Mexico happens every day, right? No big deal. But hell yeah it is! It doesn´t happen everyday, and now I feel like a 6-year-old kid on Christmas morning in 1988 unwrapping a Nintendo 8-bit entertainment system with two controllers and super Mario Bros cartridge. It’s a big deal. Here´s what happened. Pau Soto, ELLE´s beauty editor, asked me if I would… Read more »

Luckily, I got the opportunity to try 4 new eau de toilettes: Elie Saab Le Parfum, Madly Kenzo, Narciso Rodriguez for her eau Délicate, and… Read more »

Thanks to my job and blog I get to try new beauty products very often. From everything I have tried during June and July just the following three made me fall in love. So Laque Ultra Shine – Bleu Model – Bourjois. Dahlia Noir – Eau de Toilette – Givenchy. Chubby Stick – Mega Melon – Clinique.

Lately my bathroom cabinet has been filled with a lot of beauty products. A lot. Some I bought, some were given to me for testing, and others came from various goodie bags. As the good blogger I am I tested them all. But not all of them made it into my favorite-will-buy-forever-don´t-leave-me-list. These are the ones that did.
